La négation : un imaginaire structurel dans l’œuvre de Madame Guyon

When reading the works by Madame Guyon – from her autobiographical texts to the Moyen Court and the Torrents – it is essential to note the eminent position of the negative form in all its possible variations: plain, full, restrictive etc. This essay aims to propose an interpretation of some works by Madame Guyon in the light of such a constant peculiarity, which is the basic structure of the unconsciousness set to translate the ineffable in the mystical writing.
